Events

Events are authentik's built-in logging system. Whenever any of the following actions occur, an event is created:

Certain information is stripped from events, to ensure no passwords or other credentials are saved in the log.

If you want to forward these events to another application, forward the log output of all authentik containers. Every event creation is logged with the log level "info".
